Electric powered automatic swimming pool cleaning system

Apparatus for use with a containment wall having bottom and side portions containing a pool of water, for cleaning the surface of said water and the surface of said wall, said apparatus comprising:

• a unitary body capable of being immersed in said pool water;
• an electric power source;
• a level control subsystem carried by said body and powered by said power source for producing a vertical force to selectively place said body either (1) proximate to said water surface or (2) proximate to said wall surface below said water surface;
• at least one pool water inlet in said body;
• and
• a propulsion subsystem carried by said body and powered by said power source for selectively moving said body either (1) along a path adjacent to said water surface for collecting pool water through said inlet from adjacent to said water surface or (2) along a path adjacent to said wall surface for collecting pool water through said inlet from adjacent to said wall surface.

Apparatus for cleaning the surface of a containment wall configured to contain a pool of water having a water pool surface, said apparatus comprising:

• a unitary body:
• a rechargeable electric power source carried by said body configured to allow recharging by a pool docking station;
• a control system carried by said body and powered by said power source, said control system including:
• a propulsion subsystem for selectively moving said body along a path adjacent to said wall surface.
